I can scroll up and down in the list, but as soon as I press the center button, nothing further happens. After this, the highlight doesn't move anymore in the list. Any suggestions on what might be going on?
My guess is that it could be something with the info banner saying "Loading xxx" in the upper right corner, because that's the only thing happening between the button press and the movie being displayed.
If you start the application from xterm you should get an error message (just type grumby). You may also want to check if your python2.5-hildon up to date. I have version 0.8.8-1osso8 here.
Will this work on the 2007HE, or should I just move on?
I don't know. It depends on a microb package that provides a libgtkmozembed, and a python binding for it. If that is available on 2007HE, it would be quite easy to de-OS2008ify the rest of it, if at all necessary. But I don't have a 770 to try
Is python2.5-hildon part of the python2.5-runtime package? If not, which repo can I get it from? I'm having a similar problem (list of Chumby widgets show up, but can't really interact with them with button pressers or touch screen). It just highlights the one I click in blue.

been looking at that chumby stuff myself, now created a virtual one and I'm honestly disappointed by the widgets. Nothing special clocks and tickers and other stuff you have already on the N8x0 (besides maybe a game or 2 that uses the Chumby's motion sensor?)
Or do I miss something? what widgets do you actually use?
I also implemented looping through widgets using the play times defined in the channel. This works quite well, except for widgets running in cooperative mode such as the youtube widget, where the flash movie sets a flag when it's done (just couldn't get the Javascript working to read the flag from the flash movie).
